1. Introduction to the Arcam A15+: Power Redefined
The Arcam A15+ is designed for those who demand more from their Hi-Fi system. As the step-up model in the new Radia+ range, it provides the extra “grip” and headroom necessary to fill larger rooms with breathtaking, distortion-free sound. While its smaller sibling, the A5+, is perfect for bookshelf setups, the A15+ is built to drive demanding floorstanding speakers with ease.
Maintaining the award-winning Radia aesthetic, the Arcam A15+ features a precision-engineered aluminum chassis and subtle yellow accents. Beneath the hood, it has been revolutionary updated for 2025, ensuring it remains the most versatile and powerful integrated amplifier in its class.

Wireless audio reaches a new pinnacle with the Arcam A15+. Equipped with Bluetooth 5.4 and Snapdragon Sound, it supports the revolutionary aptX Lossless codec. This technology allows you to stream CD-quality, bit-perfect audio directly from your smartphone, eliminating the compression usually found in wireless audio.
Furthermore, the Arcam A15+ features Auracast™ broadcasting. This allows you to wirelessly share your music with multiple compatible headphones or speakers simultaneously. Whether you are hosting a party or engaging in late-night private listening, the A15+ provides a seamless, high-definition wireless ecosystem.

For the first time in this model, a USB-C input is included, allowing for a direct high-res connection to your PC or Mac.
Analog purists will appreciate the high-precision Moving Magnet (MM) phono stage. Specifically designed to match the RIAA curve with extreme accuracy, it ensures that your vinyl collection sounds lush, detailed, and free from background hum.
